"The Indonesian banks should do their best to remove the problems facing the Iranian businessmen who are engaged in trade with the Indonesian private sector," Rahimpour said in a meeting with Deputy Governor of Indonesia's Central Bank Ronald Waas in Jakarta on Friday.

During the meeting on the sidelines of the summit meeting of the Organization of the Islamic Cooperation (OIC) in Istanbul, President Rouhani and Jusuf Kalla explored avenues for bolstering and reinvigorating bilateral relations.

"The ground is ready for enhanced ties between Iran and Indonesia after removal of anti-Iran sanctions and resumption of banking ties," President Rouhani said.

The Iranian president went on to say that Iran and Indonesia have good potentials for expansion of ties in the fields of energy, industry, tourism, science and research.

He also urged the private sectors of the two countries to boost their ties.

The Indonesian vice-president also said that Indonesia's President Joko Widodo will pay a visit to Tehran in the near future.
